Summary: One of his mesmerizing bests!
Review: That was one of the first books by Dean Koontz I've read, when I almost didn't know his writing, and I loved it. This is the kind of book you read in only one blink. The characters and the plot are so huge, so deep and well-written that you feel as if you were there suffering and having fun with them. Everything starts when a woman is killed by monsters that are something like gorillas. Then, her sister, a FBI officer, a retired policeman and a child who is being threatened by her own parents get together unexpectdly to solve the problems and save their own life. MIDNIGHT is a book for lovers of the horror genre, the suspense and the thriller. It's a book you'll never forget because of its hugeness, of its power. Nowadays, Dean doesn't write this kind of book anymore, and yes, I miss that. This is the kind of book you could keep reading forever. If you haven't read that one yet, take it! If you haven't read a book by Dean yet and want to try him, that's a wonderful first step. The important is, read it! And never be able to forget this wonderful plot. Marco Aurelio.

Summary: One of the Classics
Review: Next to Lightning this is my favorite Koontz book. The others reviewers have done a good job with the synopsis so I won't bore you with my version. I'll only say that it is one his best and you won't be dissapointed.

Summary: Hallucinagenic, creepy precursor to "Fear Nothing"
Review: Starting in the mid-1980s, Dean Koontz hit his stride with a series of terrific cross-genre novels, starting with "Strangers," which was about alien contact; "Watchers," which was about genetic engineering; and "Lightning," which was about . . . well, you'll have to read that on your own. "Midnight" continues the trend, though it veers more toward horror than the others. The novel is set in a small town in Northern California, where an experiment has been transforming humans into "something else." An FBI agent and a ragtag group of survivors bands together to respond to the horror. As with most of Koontz's books, there is a palpable sense of eerieness that pervades the novel. Although the book is not without its violent and occasionally gory moments, it is not stomach-churning; Koontz generates suspense and terror more through implication than explicit description. Interestingly, Koontz recycled the central plotline here in the recent "Fear Nothing." (The setting changed from Moonlight Bay to Moonlight Cove.) The character in "Fear Nothing" is quite different, however, so you can't entirely predict the outcome from "Midnight." Still, if you like "Midnight," you should like "Fear Nothing," and vice versa. (Personally, I thought "Midnight" was creepier.)

Summary: DK Best Ever
Review: Midnight was by far DK's masterpiece. The first chapter left me breathless. It was like a movie in my hands, I actually saw the opening sequence and then the credits pass after it ended. Koontz is a master storyteller, and can scare the hell out of you. Midnight was even better than Phantoms, which I thought was his best. Well worth the read...

Summary: NOW I'm finished, and it ROCKED!
Review: I was the dude who wrote that I was almost done with it. Guess what--those extra 100 pages were done later that same day! It is already a week later, and I am still thinking, "Wow, what a scary book." It RULED! DEAN KOONTZ RULES!

Summary: A Favorite
Review: I loved this book. It was my first Dean Koontz and by far my favorite. DK is my favorite author. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone. I even made my husband read it. High tech so you can understand, a great hero, a twisted evil guy and it even has a dog. Fabulous read!

Summary: Almost done, and LOVING IT...
Review: I have only about 100 or so pages left in this book, and I don't want it to stop! I get so grossed out and terrified when I read about the New People in Moonlight Cove. This is one of my favorite Dean Koontz books, and it is one of the scariest! This is just as terrifying a book as can be. It is just one of those books that make you think weeks later, "...wow. What a scary book!"

Summary: Great Page Turner -- Couldn't Put It Down!
Review: This was one of the most exciting books I've read in a long time! From the characters to the idea of forced evolution -- great stuff. I enjoyed the complex characters (even though how they all came together was a little strained at times), the plot twists, and the idea that anyone could die -- or evolve/regress -- at any time. What I especially thought riveting was, at least in my mind, the idea that some characters regressed because they simply didn't want any responsibilities anymore -- how much easier to simply devolve into goo than deal with real life. One of the first books in a while where I truly did not know where it was going to end, or if everyone I cared about would make it. Looking forward to reading the other Moonlight Cove books!

Summary: Koontz has a fantastic imagination
Review: I loved this book. The story was intense, scary, and interesting. Koontz points out in this story that we best mind our children and communicate with them, that love is stronger than all, and that if you fool around with mother nature, the consequences can be dire. He definitely isn't boring. I'm passing it around to my girlfriends.
